Hiya all

I ahve been downloading movies and m now having problems. When I add the movie files into Nero it just locks up and i have to end task.

The files are under the burning size of 4gb sometimes alot more under.

Does anyone have any ideas as it doesnt even get to the stage of transcoding...Some do, most lock on adding file...

Thanks All

What is the size of your hard disk?

How much spare space do you have?

How much RAM do you have?

Is ultra DMA mode enabled?

Hard to diagnose. What format are you converting from? .. do they play ok? .... Tried another conversion program? ..

My Disc is 120gb, and 2x 120gb exterrnal.

Alot of space left!

Whats this about DMA mode enabled? Most the files are movie, avi etc.

They play fine on Windows media player.....Nero should encode auto?

What other conversion programs can I use?

Thanks All

I had this problem once, what version of Nero are you using? solved mine by removing then re-installing this worked, alternativly try a diffrent program the burn like alcohol or dvddecrypter (still avalable do a google search)

Whats this about DMA mode enabled?

In Device Manager check the IDE channel properties advanced settings. Make sure DMA is enabled and not PIO. Depending on the version of Nero you're using there is Nero DMA Manager where you can check it as well.

I had something similar on an old computer to what you're experiencing and best as l could figure it, it was a combination of the wrong graphics driver installed and not enough RAM and spare disk space. When l did a reformat it all worked again.

dvddecrypter is not available anymore, anyone got a copy?

just to add to this, the files that will not burn are Video and Movie Clip files....

thanks

you can still get dvddecrypter here. an old mirror :-)

Nice one, thanks

Hey all,

the files are already on my comp downloaded and still no joy on the burning side. dvddecrpter etc doesnt even recognise them...avi etc...

Here's a freeware avi to DVD converter.

ConvertXtoDVD is not free, but a bit easier to use.
